I tanned when I was pregnant...but for liability make sure you have a doctors note.

Heat is the issue, just like hottubs, laying outside in the sun.

Internal heat is higher than your body.

We have tanned pregnant ladies. We require they have a doctors statement in writing. The doctors who have given consent, advise having a fan on and staying hydrated.

I had a lady call tonight that said her doc said it was ok. I told her the same thing...we would only tan her with the written consent of her dr.

i dont allow pregnant women to tan, its too risky isnt worth the problems, dr consent or no dr consent. pregnant women dont need to tan. they need to be worried about their baby not their vanity.

stop....it does not harm the baby. You are allowed to tan. It is one of the only things you get to do...and you are all puffy and feel horrable at least you can be tan!

We have a policy that if you are pregnant, you can not tan. We havent had a problem with it as of yet. We will freeze a package until the child is born and the mom is ready to tan again.

This is one of the worst myths in the industry. Doctor's permission because we live in a litigious society and everone wants to cover their butt, but truly - no tanning?? They are putting their pregnancy in more risk by driving anywhere, taking a shower (could slip and fall), riding a bike (I had a HUGE wipeout, which necessitated x-rays -- a double whammy!), eating half the foods in a typical diet, being exposed to chemicals from a variety of beauty techniques (hair, nails,...) and so on.

BUT - expect your doctor to say no, because they don't like tanning anyway, and they want to cover THEIR butts too....

Isnt is also thatit can alter the pigmentof your skin, nothte tanning but pregnancy, so you can get an un even tan and also the 'mask' of pregnancy.

If you do a search on this site there are a ton of threads on it.
